Hi, everybody! (Hi, Dr. Pho!)
H'okay, so. This is kind of long-winded, but only because it's two announcements crammed into one. Like a clearance sale! Or something.
Anyway, first off, this upcoming Monday, I'm starting what I've not-so-affectionately nicknamed the Summer Hell Semester. The long story short is that thanks to my internship, job, classes, and studying, anything resembling free time is about to completely go down the tubes; we're talking me pulling something like fifty- to sixty-hour weeks from now until the beginning of August. I'll still be posting my folks in occasionally, and if I'm needed for plot, all you've gotta do is say the word -- but appearances are going to be kind of rare as a whole, and I need to ask that you please, please don't expect me to slowtime. It sucks, but I just don't think I'll be able to carry threads over multiple days anymore. If it's plotty, sure; if it's one of those threads where things are getting really interesting but it's three AM and sleep needs to happen, sure. But I highly doubt I'll be able to make a habit of it.
This is going to affect
flybywash,
q_in_training,
mercurialist,
its_a_robe, and (deep breath as she fesses up to the sekrit pup)
watchmakers_son.
And second...speaking of Wash.
Unfortunately, due to a number of factors, Wash will be retired on June 10th. I promise that I will post him in at least once between now and then, and the above statement re: no slowtimes won't apply to any threads in his last EP. He's had a good run, but his story -- the Milliways portion of it, at least -- is winding down, and it's just time for him to bow out. I'll be making a much longer and sappier back room post about it on the 10th, I'm sure, but for now: thank you so much to everyone who's made the last two and a half years (!) of playing him as awesome as they've been.
And I think that's it. Take care, all. :D

ANYWAY -- sadface at Wash, we hardly got to thread like ever, but if I'm near a computer when he gets another EP I shall try to tag.
And good luck with summer. o_o

PHOENIX.
*HYSTERICAL*
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. GOD.
*also, clings to Wash*

You already know everything I could ever say here.
So consider it said, again.
*hugs muchly*
(And you will totally defeat this hell semester! You will.)

(I shouldn't probably tell you that when working 80+ hour weeks one summer, I still managed to be online an awful lot.)
(I probably also shouldn't say that I'd been hoping to find out who played Sylar because, much as I haven't been playing lately, I'd die for Adam-Sylar. But that can wait until whenever.)

Dude, knew you rocked before...just wow.
Good luck this summer.

I do say, for your own peace of mind, that you can wrangle some free time in sixty hour work weeks. I've been managing to one degree or another for three years now.
It takes scheduling, but you WILL have some breathing space and a reasonable amount of sleep. Most weeks. (Not necessarily online time, but--time. Which is helpful, I've found.)
*hugs more*

I should send him a tinysaur for his last post. Yes. :D

And we've talked about Wash some already, so I'll just reiterate that he's always been fantastic to play with, and I don't care what I have to do to get my hands on a working computer in the next few weeks, but we are having one last barthread, Y/Y?
*hugs lots*

You got me here, honeybunches. Two years ago.
Holy shit.
We'll get Mal and Wash drunk. Or something.

And while I'm at it, because RL can be a royal pain in the *cough* bitmap, *hugs you* too.
And holy cow, you're Wash *and* Sylar? Oh, my goodness. *salutes*

OH MY GOD, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I'VE BEEN CHATTING AMIABLY WITH WASH-MUN THIS WHOLE TIME? THE FREAKIN' WASH MUN!?!?
I feel like one of those people who sits down at a restaurant and realizes that the guy across from them's a celebrity halfway through the meal! HOLY SHIT.
